Ingredients
- 3 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almonds, chopped
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup Pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup Raisins
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped almonds, chopped pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the granola mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer.
Step 6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it during the last 5 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the granola cool completely on the sheet without disturbing it. This helps it form clusters.
Step 8
Once the granola has cooled, stir in the dried cranberries and raisins.
Step 9
Store the granola in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy it on its own, with milk, or as a topping for yogurt or smoothie bowls.
